Il know several men who have grown
rich and retired from business on the sale
Of liver iuviguraturs and consumption
cures. Both remedies are made OF the
same materials-to wit, water, whisky,
and one or two extracts. In Dayton, Ohio,
a fakir connected with our show sold 1870
bottles Of liver iuvigoratOr and POS bottles
of consumption cure in four hours, and
not over one quarter of the lot was sold TO
farmers. When YOU appeal to man $
avarice you hit him hard, when you get
him to thinking his liver is out of order,
or that he is cousumptiye, you can take
| his last cent. You have seen the glass
bulbs filled with reddish fluid which fakirs
! claim To test the blood with, Any one of
average sense must know they are frauds,
but have seen the best physicians in a
town pay their ten cents with the rest.
! About the only thing connected with the

. the public j. the electric battery. That ;
( all right. and the owner will give yun ali
